Itโ€™s really sad to see the UK get grouped like this.

It's not sad, it's how a democracy is supposed to be working imho. A majority of the UK voted for the Brexit, which means that the UK as a whole voted for it and then acted accordingly. Sure, you were many to oppose it. Still the vote was made and no matter how stupid it was, that was the result for the entire country. A bit like many here in France were against re-electing Macron as our President (note that I don't say I was for nor against him being re-elected) but since he has been re-elected by a majority of the voters he his the President of the entire French Republic and of all of us, he is not the President of just the ones that voted for him ;)

I was part of the 48.1% who voted remain. How does the UK feel about Brexit now? Myself, and everyone I know is unhappy that it happened.

The morning I heard the results I had to check with friends over the channel if all our media had all been hacked by russian-hackers because I could not believe such a thing had indeed happened. That was so, well...

fucking idiots.

I could not have said it better ;)

With a 72% turnout, only 37% of registered voters voted Leave. Should not voting be seen as a vote for the status quo?

That's another question, imho. Worth discussing, for sure. But I would say the rules of the vote were known before the vote. If one doesn't agree with them, that's obviously fine but they should have questioned them (and then their choice of not voting) before the vote, not question a result that is following the rules of that vote.
